Man I remember first hearing Metal Health amongst Prince, MJ, Madonna, all on Top 40 Radio and thinking how cool the 'Metal Health' riff was. Like the music or not, this band helped pave the way for other LA bands of the time.
I know this sounds horrible, but I thought, "guess he wont feel the noize now."
I am going to hell.
Or banging his head for that matter!

anyone else think of Dee Snider when they read this?
or do you all know your metal better than me?
I did too, but in a kinda hopeful way.
because I really hate dee snider. (I always thought he was a joke - didnt realize that it was supposed to be serious. I thought he was a metal weird Al)
IF YOU WANT A PLATE OF MY BEEF SWELLINGTON, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE COVERCHARGE.
The guy was almost bald about five years after their big album.
An old friend of mine who I don't see as often as I should and I like letting Slick Black Caddy go at full tilt.
Don't you mean he was almost bald when they had their big album????
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
RIP Kevin....
Just saw them at a club here a couple years back and had a blast...I remember rockin Metal Health on my walkman, ridin my bmx around as a 10 year old...one of my first albums.
This may sound odd to you guys, but in my little house in a little mining town in a little valley in Wales, Metal Health could often be heard booming out from my bedroom. I loved them, what was it 84, 85? Never got the chance to see them tough, but loved the records. Its a sad story, and btw, that barnet of Kevs is either a weave or a 'syrup', he was receeding way back in the 80's. RIP.
QUIET RIOT Drummer Frankie Banali - "With Kevin's Passing A Very
Large Part Of My Life And My History Has Come To End And I Can't
Imagine Life Without His Presence"
Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2007 at 20:58:04 EST
QUIET RIOT drummer Frankie Banali has issued the following
update:
"I want to thank everyone for the hundreds of condolences that
I've received in honour of Kevin (DuBrow) which continues to pour
in. With Kevin's passing a very large part of my life and my
history has come to end and I can't imagine life without his
presence.
I've not slept. There is such a void in every part of my life
now. I can't find any words to say that make any sense of it. I
can't fix this, I can't change this and I'm expected accept the
unbearable. I can't utter a sentence or think of my dear friend
or even say his name without a flood of tears.
I can't stand that I won't hear his voice on the phone.
I can't stand that I won't step on a stage with him again.
I can't stand that I won't share another day with him.
I can't stand that I won't sit across from him laughing.
I can't stand to go past the room and see the awards we earned
and shared.
I can't stand that life is forever changed.
I can't stand that I can't change this.
I can't stand that I have to accept this.
This is a picture that Kevin sent to me on May 24, 2007. It was
taken in 1993 after we had reconciled and started working
together again and when he sent it to me he called to say that
this is how he will always like to remember us as friends. A
relationship in life that continued until now. I want to
remember my dear Kevin in life like this rather than in his
passing."

That's what I said. Didn't anyone give a shit enough about him to realize they hadn't heard from him in SIX days? His fiance'? What was she doing during that time? Does he ordinarily text her at 240am and she does nothing for six days?

I loved this band back in the days of Metal Heath and Randy Rhodes
Dee Snider is TWISTED SISTER- they put out a hilarious x-mas album last year. Classic
Metal Health is such a great tune to blast.
He can jam with Randy Rhoads again at least.
R.I.P.
I did too, but in a kinda hopeful way.
because I really hate dee snider. (I always thought he was a joke - didnt realize that it was supposed to be serious. I thought he was a metal weird Al)
"Bang your head,
Metal Health will drive you mad...."
And it did...
and still jonesing for another show....
"the waiting drove me mad..."

WTF? How did she not know he was a rockstar?
She knew him for years and was ENGAGED to him but this piece of info never came up? Didn't they do a reunion or something a few years ago?
Seems strange to me.
